Apologies!

I would like to formally apologize to the few readers of this blog for the unannounced leave of absence that Chloe and myself have taken. We both (really only Chloe) lead rather busy lives, and it's not always easy to find the time in the day to photograph nice outfits or give y'all various fashion tips and advice. However due to the beautiful weather, and upcoming break, I'll be pushing to post every week. Thank you all for bearing with me during this time, we'll be sure to flood this blog with fashion and beauty.

Thanks again for waiting it out. We'll be back and better than ever this week.

Transitional Seasonal Apparel

The most fashion-frustrating time of year for me would be between seasons, when you just can't seem to find a happy-medium between sweaters and shorts. The transition from April showers to May flowers can make getting dressed in the morning a chore.

Patterns are a fun and fresh way to break into the welcomed warmth of spring, without jumping in head-first. If your looking to show a little bit of skin, opt for knee-length skirts and sleeve-less button-downs. And if you're just itching to get outside, bike rides are the perfect cure for Spring fever!

Skirt - Original

News Flash

I'm pleased to announce some exciting upcoming news!

Subtly Stylish is expanding its content, and opening a womenswear section to the blog. Written and lead by photographer and model Chloe Malushaga, it should be an interesting expansion to the blog, and we look forward to it.

In addition to womenswear, we have some big things coming up for you guys, so be excited!

Spring Staples

When spring finally rolls in, some of the greatest fashions of the year finally become wearable.
Lighter colors like pinks and light blues as well as polka dots which aren't always acceptable throughout the year. While it wasn't showed in the photoshoot due to scheduling issues, any polka dot layed out shape such as repeated sailboats or anchors. I find that during spring time, nautical themes are always in fashion. Khaki or patterned shorts also are a great way to keep looking subtly stylish
throughout the spring.

Spring Has Sprung... But Not Quite

Here in New York, we're almost a week into spring and it's still freezing, meaning that you can stay stylish in a wide variety of seasonal apparel. In this instance, subtly stylish model Eli Kalish and I were modeling two different takes on the colorful pants and long sleeve shirt look.

The Spring Look:

A good way to keep warm while sticking with the season, favoring lighter colors and more prominent patterns.

Details:
Shirt - J Crew
Jeans - Gap
Shoes - Timberland

The Winter Look:
Favoring darker colors and more subtle patters, this look is an ideal way to transition between seasons.

The Short Suit Look

In light of the fact that spring is right around the corner, I decided to post about one of my favorite S/S looks, the short suit, brought to my attention by a good friend of mine Morgan Miller. The look is perfect for anything from a day at the yacht club, to a formal ceremony or celebration, and nearly everything in between.
